This is also common in India. The teachers replace the actual answer sheet with their answer sheets.russ_watters said:It's a lot simpler (not to mention safer!) if instead of allowing the cheating, the teachers just do the cheating for the students:

Reminds me of a time in which a friend of mine cheated in Geography in middle school and the teacher nearly killed him. She was raging so hard and hysterical over him cheating. She sent him to hell and everything. She was like: "IF I GO TO YOUR SIT AND YOU ARE CHEATING YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE IT! LIFT YOUR BACKPACK THIS INSTANT AND SHOW ME WHAT'S BELOW!" Meanwhile everyone was trying really hard to contain their laugh. After getting kicked out of the classroom on the exam he became the laughing point of the class for a whole week. For a few days she didn't accept him in the class and he came to me to copy the material that was discussed. She was really mad (her face all red and everything), other teachers had to intervene in the following days to calm her down.dx said:For example, the subject "geography" in class 10 partly consists of the memorization of the temperatures and type of soil conditions which are appropriate for the growth of around a hundred plants. (I have cheated in such tests too, #YOLO)

It happened at my high school and I'm sure it still happens everywhere. Old leaked standard exams everywhere. Not that I needed them anyway.

common... but does not happen in every part of my country.zoeschmoe said:No kidding? I didn't realize this kind of cheating was so common :/
I don't get it. What exactly is wrong with this?dx said:There are bigger problems with the Indian educational system than cheating. For example, the subject "geography" in class 10 partly consists of the memorization of the temperatures and type of soil conditions which are appropriate for the growth of around a hundred plants.
Well its one thing to study or learn about such things, but its another thing to expect students to memorize dry facts. I don't see what the point is in memorizing such facts. It as meaningless as memorizing the heights of a large number of mountains. What could a question like "what is the height of Mount whats-its-name in Colorado?" possibly test other than memory and willingness to memorize things for no reason?DaveC426913 said:I don't get it.

Evo said:India is a huge country and I would imagine that practices and what is acceptable vary greatly from one region to another, this is by no means indicative of the entire country/
pvk21 said:Yep India is huge country.but believe me people in India are very narrow minded.I hate this the most
Not everyone. Have you ever went to Sikkim?? It's one of the best places in India. The people there are very kind and calm.pvk21 said:Yep India is huge country.but believe me people in India are very narrow minded.I hate this the most
The superintendent was probably a part of the incident. He might have allowed the parents.Greg Bernhardt said:The parents scaling the walls of the school is quite alarming. The superintendent must be blind.
I know of many courses where memorization of material is required: geography, math, physics. Regardless, seems to me, such a minor criticism of content is dwarfed by the problems mentioned in this thread.dx said:Well its one thing to study or learn about such things, but its another thing to expect students to memorize dry facts.

( or maybe your question was sarcastic? )
There you go this what I intended to say.there in no quality educationdx said:Well, you can't really compare that to math and physics though. For example, I know Maxwell's equations, not because I memorized them, but because I have used them many many many times. It is not the same kind of memorization. The math and physics tests are also much more sane in this sense, because it is not uncommon to give a list of required formulas at the beginning of the test, to save the students the trouble of memorizing them.
I agree with you that this is just one of the problems. I know because I have gone through the system. There is a tremendous amount of pressure on the students to do well in the exams, so much that they forget why they are learning things. Doing well in the exam becomes more important than quality education.

good institution you mean IIT.well you can't have IIT everywhere.AdityaDev said:Unless you are in a good coaching institute in India.
